Has anyone else noticed that Bitcoin tends to tolerate people who act like jerks, even to our own detriment? This is not unique to Bitcoin -- highly ideological spaces tend to have massive blind spots when it comes to dangerous personalities. View quoted note →

I regret to inform my assigned feds, the DarkWeb, and the van parked across the street that the ColdCard has rugged me. I have lost all my Bitcoin in a cypherpunk LARPing accident, and that I am now financially harmless.

In terms of value lost, can we safely say that ColdCard is the worst hardware wallet compromise ever?

I just bought ice cream at a Square terminal using the Cashu wallet I vibed.

My ColdCard just stores my keys. I generated them myself, in a remote cabin in the mountains, with dice, under a blanket. View quoted note →

There aren't enough tiddies on nostr. I had to type "tiddies" like 3 times, because autocorrect kept thinking meant to say "riddles". There aren't a lot of riddles on nostr, either, but I wouldn't say "not enough."

The worst thing about bitcoiners is how they already live in a future state in their head where bitcoin has just naturally won. They cite a dead school of economics to justify this outlook. It's inevitable, they say, according to podcasters quoting dead economists. But in the present, they're basically the babadook meme, scaring away everyone who isn't as big a crank as they are. How do current these current and supposed future states exist on the same timeline?

Bitcoin price where it was 6 months ago. And 2 years ago. And 5 years ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No normal person with warm blood in their veins is ever going to understand or care to learn what you mean when you start invoking "fiat". You're just a crazy person saying crazy things, and that will never change. So you can change your tactics or scare normal people off from bitcoin. Your choice.

Bitcoin is only dangerous, revolutionary, and important if people use it. Everything else is just nerds playing pretend.

The Oddesey soundtrack was a lot of discordant honking.
